Traveling Man Treasures is selling this gorgeous Chinese late Qing Dynasty (c. 1644-1911) Sancai roof tile depicting a Taoist immortal solemnly riding on a green rooster above a circular tile with a guardian lion medallion. The rooster is the tenth sign of the Chinese zodiac. Its chief purpose is to produce an auspicious aura, which creates a positive cosmic current that would generate favorable Feng Shui that could enhance authority and rank in a career.
DIMENSIONS: 11" H x 10.5" L x 3.75" W
Elaborate roof tiles such as this designed with immortals, dragons, and other mythical creatures were often placed on ridges and roof edges as guardians and protectors of public buildings and private estates. This roof tile is in excellent antique condition with no breaks or chips, and only one small crack near the edge of the medallion. This crack does not affect the structural integrity of the piece.
